Final Fantasy XIV Players March For Hurricane Relief

September 14th, 2017 by Peter

For almost 12 hours, hundreds to maybe thousands of Lalafells invaded the Siren server of Final Fantasy XIV with the purpose to raise funds for Hurricane Relief. Streamers and content creators got together and hosted several hours of them marching as Lalafells in Eorzea.

Their initial goal was to raise $1,000 for Direct Relief ( a non-profit charity organization), but that amount eventually added up and became $21,510. That’s amazing!

Players leveled up to level 15 so they can ride the airship to other parts of the game, eventually culminating in them gathering at Revenant’s Toll (a level 50 zone) and did not run, but marched through the whole world of Eorzea to raise awareness and funds.

An after-party was held in the in-game beach resort Costa-Del-Sol, with players relaxing and having fun with what the game had to offer while listening to one streamer reading fan-fiction for everyone to hear.

From the $1000 goal, it jumped up to $21,510 and was directly donated to Direct Relief after the march and the after-party were over. It’s amazing and groundbreaking on how gaming can help others from natural disasters and proves that gaming isn’t just for fun but can be used to help other people.
